Got to feed that military industrial complex and justify that excessive "defense" budget somehow.
Should have used that money to build a dome.
these avatars...I missed something.
I am currently awaiting an ebay package from taiwan, apparently carried by toddler on tricycle shipping company. It's scheduled to arrive between Jan 2 and 22, according to the world's most awful tracking software. I should have spent the extra five bucks to buy it from somebody out here... or at least with access to some sort of communication system.

Damn, I could have gotten like three Starbucks Americanos with that money.
On the topic of jobs and me bitching about it every day, I got an e-mail yesterday from a recruiter for a position that would be a promotion and closer to home. It makes me nervous because I have not been on the job market for nearly 20 years and I understand replying to this guy means I am willing to quit my job. That being said, I replied and told him I am interested.
Wife and I cancelled our ski plans this weekend due to the three inches of RAIN that is supposed to fall upon Mount Snow tomorrow. FTS.
Somebody needs to reply to the how high can monkies count thread with 1136 and let me have 1137 plllleeeeeaaasse for the love of Christ...
Working at the "worst" one of our buildings today. The coolant they use in the machines here stinks like shit, the floors are slippery and there is a constant low hum and thud sound from the giant 3 story presses.
Worst of all, the coffee machine is on the other side of the building. Ugh.

Mornin!
Gotta make a decision today. Take an offer that's less than ideal cause it means work? Or pass it up and continue the search? Leaning towards 2, but it's hard to pass something up when it's on the table.

This belongs in the how high can monkeys count thread, especially since it just keeps going up!
Go for it, Phil, the working conditions you have been describing are abusive.
SRSLY.
Now.
I mean... that's a shitload of money and all... but have you seen how much people spend on *SHEDS* lately?!? It's almost shameful.

I'm not sure about abusive, but certainly very stressful beyond what is acceptable with no end in sight. At first I was like "I can't quit until I get these guys through year end and W2's", but now IDGAF.
Sounds like a change is in order then. They arent going to all of a sudden say, oh wow, that IRB works so hard, we should give him a break and a raise and show more appreciation for his efforts.
On the contrary, I'd wager they will just pile more on. After all, you've shown you can handle it, right?
Don't get sucked into Stockholm syndrome.
I had a long interview with genius kid CEO yesterday and while I think I would do great at that job, I don't think our personalities meshed that well. I am expecting to hear "Thanks but no thanks" in the near future.
It is dumping up in them that hills with lots more expected today/tonight.
Bet you a shiny quarter they suddenly notice how important you are when you tell them you are leaving. Don't fall for that trap. Too late, assholes!
I'm strongly considering a hooky day on Monday... any of you other CO monkeys fancy a Monday Funday?

Almost.Did you get "Ok, Boomer"d by them??
Also got reprimanded for referring to the future product leader as "he"./rant: fuck you people, I come from a culture where all nouns are gendered, and their genders are pretty much random having nothing to do with actual sexes or their roles in society. Adding this complication to English is something my feeble brain does not need.

If that happened in an interview I'd politely excuse myself and thank them for their time.
edit: I once had an executive director nearly start crying while interviewing me. wtf people. get your shit together.
Almost forgot that the toilet paper here isn't the standard pull from a roll type, its dispensed one square at a time like a tissue box. The fuck??
I would politely tell them to go fuck themselves.
I-70 appears to be properly fucked this morning. 
I can tell you with 100% certainty that this is what will happen. FYI I am going on three years now without a pay increase because I am at the top of my scale and the position in under-graded. I've repeatedly asked about it but nothing gets done. They'll move on that if/when I give my notice.
In my past three jobs, I got zero pay increase for years in each because I was hired at the top of my scale. The only way to move up is a new job.
Three fucking YEARS?!? WTF? FTS. Dude.
Time to move on. FUCK that.
Yes.
17 minutes into my work day and the Kill List is full.I-70 appears to be properly fucked this morning.
I should have driven over BP last night and skied my face off today.
Also yea, I'll be there for tacos later.
